Dreams are the images, ideas, emotions and sensations of an unconscious mind. But although the poems “Harlem” by Langston Hughes, “On the Pulse of Morning” by Maya Angelou and “I Hear America Singing” by Walt Whitman. You see that dreams are only a path of hope for the future; a message that must be heard before it is too late for society to change. The first poem, “Harlem” by Langston Hughes, describes the future leading to social struggle: “What happens to a dream deferred? (1), and he wants to know the results of the ignored dreams: "Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?" (2). He thinks it will be a fatal end. “Or does it explode?” (11). He imagines that the dream will eventually disappear. This poem is a message to the people. He added that as a society we must open our eyes and see that hope is on our faces and in our dreams there are messages so that we can bring about a change for the better. Hughes believes that struggles will come for us as people and that in these dreams there may be answers for our society or our people. In “On the Pulse of Morning” by Maya Angelou, dreams are also seen as messages to our society. She said “Your mouth pours out words/Armed for slaughter” (19-20), describing that we do not have to destroy our world through ignorance and violence. “Hosts of long-extinct species” (2), to look at the world face to face and not turn away because we don't like what we see. As she visions that we will come together again as one. “I, the tree and the rock were one” (35-36), we are strong and can make a difference in the world by embracing and finding peace in the world. Angelou wrote this because she believed the world was in turmoil and we needed to stop the violence and create... middle of paper ...... go to sleep for the start of a new day. The latest poem “Station” by Eamon Greannan describes the father's farewell and so on. When it says “We say” (1), it means that the father and son are saying goodbye to each other at the station. “I want to tell him that he is entering the light of the world” (11). Speakers are trying to figure out what to say to each other. “We both know, deep down, that it will never be the same again” (14). Both speakers – the son and the father – know that the relationship wants to be the same. This poem is about the character's consciousness and the thoughts both speakers have about the future and what it would be like without each other. These poems show that every dream does not have to be about the future or the past, but about what is happening now and the thoughts you are going through at that time..
